About Us
Established In 1994.
A group of prominent businessmen set out to establish The Al Ansaar Foundation in 1994 in the hope of uplifting and improving the community
OUR MISSION
To promote education and guidance at all levels of society in order to develop individuals who are fully equipped to meet the challenges facing modern society and the transformations taking place on the African continent.
OUR VISION
To create an enlightened, informed, educated and active community in South Africa.
OUR HISTORY
While there were already other organisations in existence, these visionaries understood that it was their duty to address issues which they felt had been neglected. Therefore, The Al Ansaar Foundation was established to form an infrastructure to restore values and practices among South Africans and ultimately to reach communities. As a result, society will be more enlightened, educated and informed, thus empowering people to become active members of their respective communities.
WHAT WE DO
The Al Ansaar Foundation has grown to achieve a track record of being one of the most progressive and active organisations in South Africa.
